Abstract

Claims (23)

1 . A method, implemented in a wireless transmit/receive unit, WTRU, of provisioning the WTRU for communication in a temporary local network, the method comprising:

transmitting, to an onboarding network, information indicative of a capability of the WTRU to communicate with the temporary local network;

transmitting, to the onboarding network, at least one identifier of a service;

receiving, from the onboarding network, provisioning configuration information for temporary local network provisioning, wherein the provisioning configuration information comprises a provisioning server address for the service;

receiving, from the onboarding network, using the received provisioning configuration information, a message identifying a provisioning configuration for use by the WTRU with the temporary local network; and

sending a message, using the provisioning configuration information, to the temporary local network.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary local network is a Localized Temporary Service, LTS, network.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting, to the onboarding network, information regarding the capability comprises transmitting a registration request including the information regarding the capability.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information is for a data network and a network slice.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

establishing a session in the temporary local network and retrieving credentials for use in the temporary local network from a provisioning server of the temporary local network, the provisioning server accessed using the session and the provisioning configuration.

6 . A wireless transmit/receive unit, WTRU, comprising:

memory configured to store program code instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the program code instructions to:

transmit, to an onboarding network, information indicative of a capability of the WTRU to communicate with a temporary local network;

transmit, to the onboarding network, at least one identifier of a service;

receive, from the onboarding network, provisioning configuration information for temporary local network provisioning, wherein the provisioning configuration information comprises a provisioning server address for the service;

receive, from the onboarding network, using the received provisioning configuration information, a message identifying a provisioning configuration for use by the WTRU with the temporary local network; and

send a message, using the provisioning configuration information, to the temporary local network.

7 . The WTRU of claim 6 , wherein the temporary local network is a Localized Temporary Service, LTS, network.

8 . The WTRU of claim 6 , wherein transmit, to the onboarding network, information regarding the capability comprises transmit a registration request including the information regarding the capability.

9 . The WTRU of claim 6 , wherein the configuration information is for a data network and a network slice.

10 . The WTRU of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to establish a session in the temporary local network and retrieve receive credentials for use in the temporary local network from a provisioning server of the temporary local network, the provisioning server accessed using the session and the provisioning configuration.
